Tiny URL has it's place alright but this link isn't so long.

Plus it can be somewhat 'wrap-proofed' by enclosing the thing in brackets:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/12/28/tech/main663530.shtml

It be nice to actually 'see' what the URL is going to prior to trusting it.

(Nothing personal, just whining a bit.)

BTW, On Topic:
http://wwwimage.cbsnews.com/images/2005/01/06/image665247x.jpg

Man, that external tank is HUGE!
Look at the people in the shadow of the thing.

....No, but considering that of late we've had porn spammers and trojan
freaks posting bogus tinyurl links to sites containing spam and
spyware, posts like yours usually get ignored and you wind up in
Killfile Hell.

Speaking of which...
